Thu, 13 Mar 2025 Tesco to trial giving away expiring food to shoppers

Giving away food will be trialled in some Express stores in an effort to cut waste.
Tesco will begin a trial where customers can take home free expiring food from its smaller Express stores at the end of each day. The supermarket has already been donating excess food to charities and foodbanks, but this new initiative aims to further reduce waste. Initially, the free food will be offered to charities and shop workers before being available to customers. Tesco has a goal to halve its food waste by 2030, and this trial is part of its efforts to achieve that target. The supermarket already offers discounts on expiring food, but this new policy appears to be a first in the UK.
